In my last blog post about my idea of a Spring Tonic Eau de Perfume I asked some questions. Thank you for the responses received on my JoAnne Bassett Perfumes business facebook page. That really helps me decide what may be wanted and which direction to go with it. Herbal, citrus, fresh, wet soil… those are all good suggestions. Perhaps a splash type cologne or eau de toilette and not a heavy eau de perfume.
The photo of the green juice in a glass is what I drank this morning. It is a Dr. Oz Green Drink. They can contain a variety of vegetables and fruit. It depends on your intention. It can be a cleanse or an energy drink. This drink contains spinach, celery, carrot, cilantro, bananas, orange juice, and on some days blueberries, kale, cabbage, romaine, etc. They are similar to the spring tonic herbal drinks with nettle, dandelion for liver detox and others that have a purpose. There are Spring Tonics you take internally to clean you out. These are herbal tonics.
My “Spring Cleanse” perfume will contain herbs that have a special purpose. The only difference is you will not drink my botanical fragrance.. you will wear it. Cilantro is a great spicy herb that we love to add to salsa and Mexican food. It adds a zing.
www.nutrition-and-you.com/cilantro.html gives this information:
Health benefits of cilantro leaves (coriander) Cilantro herb is very low in calories and contains no cholesterol. However, its deep-green leaves possess good amounts of antioxidants, essential oils, vitamins, and dietary fiber, which may help reduce LDL or “bad cholesterol” levels in the blood.
So we eat the cilantro and also receive a benefit which we can enjoy. The coriander / cilantro essential oils will add a spicy note and together with the various herbs there will be much to appreciate.
Some people are detoxing with herbs in the spring, drinking potions that will help them to start fresh. Spring Tune Ups can also refer to bike rides…horse rides.. etc. Like a tune up on your car.. your engine needs some work to keep it fully functional.
Our digestive systems need a full flush out like changing our oil. After the long winter we have loaded up on carbs, fats, and heavy foods. They have left their mark on our body in pounds and possibly our digestive systems also need a flush.
Stay tuned with more ideas and more clarity on the final formula for the Spring fragrance. If you have not commented on my survey on my Facebook page.. please go there now and do so.
Thank you again and have a great first Spring weekend. Don’t over due the exercise weekend warriors.

Quick announcement and a favor.
I have been busy exploring my new area in North Dallas, Texas. Trees are leafing out, bulbs have bloomed, flowers are everywhere, vines are blooming, everything is green and exploding in color. In some areas the famous Texas blue bonnets are taking over and it is a sight to behold. Lots of ideas are perking under the surface but that is another story for another blog. Stay tuned for any new developments. There may be a few Limited Editions in the works.
But first I need to ask you a favor…I have to ask you a couple of questions. Can you help me out?
I am considering offering a Spring Tonic Eau de Perfume …There are Spring Tonics you take internally to clean you out. These are herbal tonics. It will be like a “Spring Cleanse” but for the skin.
A list of benefits is already started. It will cover all the ways the tonic will support our spring renewal. HOWEVER, I need your help. Before I finalize everything, I need to make sure I have covered everything. That is where you come in. Please take a few minutes to answer this super-short survey there is really only one thing we want to ask you – What are your two top questions about the Spring Tonic Eau de Perfume? I am wondering if any of you are interested in a Spring Tune Up Eau de Perfume?? I absolutely NEED you to answer on my JoAnne Bassett Perfumes Facebook page.

I often get questions from people about which of my JoAnne Bassett natural perfumes may be right for them. They start naming commercial fragrances or telling me of the notes or ingredients that they like. For instance they may say I like floral fragrances with rose. What they do not know is the fact that department store fragrances and commercial fragrances are mostly synthetic. The rose they are talking about is not the essential oil of real rose but a synthetic rose made in the laboratory. Therefore the cheap rose fragrance oil is not going to be found in my fragrances. What you will find in my 100% natural fragrances is a very expensive real rose oil the otto. The rose petals from a rose are steam distilled and the small yield is the expensive rose otto I buy and use in my natural perfumes.

In all of the years I have taught my classes and workshops at 5 star resorts, hotels and spas most of the students have never smelled a true rose oil. They are only familiar with the fragrance oil that comes from the laboratory and is created from chemicals. My Fragrance Flights can help a person understand which of my natural fragrances may work on their skin. My Aromatic Journeys, and Create Your Own Perfume classes also have inspired people to take my Natural Perfume Workshop to learn how to make perfume and sell it. So my classes have been useful for so many people in different ways.

For those of you who cannot attend my classes and workshops you are able to purchase the individual samples and sample sets under Perfume Collections go to Fragrance Samples or the Individual Collections will have just a 1 ml sample of all fragrances for sale.

The other way for you to choose a fragrance from my Collections is go to my page Choosing A Scent.
That page list fragrance categories and subcategories that can help you understand the differences and which notes you may be drawn to. Always feel free to contact me on my Contact Us page for any clarification you may want. I am available for a short consultation by skype or phone also.

I was recently connecting with a client – Ben from The Rode Institute. Please click the link and discover a new way to “be” in relationships. Ben and Jen Rode are masters and their work is inspiring. In the email we uncovered a need he had that could help his clients. So I created this Collection of natural perfumes. The benefit of the natural perfumes is they are made with essential oils which provide aromatherapy benefits. My perfumes take it a step further where I have an intention for the perfume and use the energetic oils that would work for this. Some of my essential oils are vintage and some have very high transformational properties. Then I perform alchemy on the perfumes.
I present this collection with love, so everyone can be all that they can be.

Perfumes With A Purpose
Abundance This perfume works with your body to assist you in opening to receive your good. Abundance is your birthright!

Aphrodisiac This perfume works with your body to help you get in the mood and be open to fully enjoy yourself and your partner.

Clearing Sexual/Emotional Blocks This perfume works with your body to assist you in removing any sexual / emotional blocks so you can participate fully in a relationship.

Perfumes With A Purpose were created to support you on your journey. These magnificent energetic potions will help you move forward. These 4 ml perfume oils are in a base of organic jojoba oil. The eau de perfumes are in organic grape alcohol from wine grapes. The 4 ml glass bottle comes in an ivory satin bag. The 5 ml travel sprayer comes in a organza bag. Apply with intention to your pulse points and heart chakra. These are proprietary formulas of highly energetic essential oils, absolutes, and resins.
I have performed alchemy on these magical perfumes and have set the intention for you to receive this specific energy.

A question I often get is How do you create your Custom Bespoke Perfumes and are they Signature Scents?
First of all I would say a signature scent is something you are “known” for wearing as you wear it often. In the 80’s I wore Coco Chanel a lot… so that could have been a sig scent but I also wore Opium and a bunch of others. A custom perfume does not have to be a sig scent but it can be…the choice is yours. I often create a custom perfume for myself on a new moon with the new energy for new beginnings. It really is your choice.
The way I create Custom Bespoke Perfumes is quite different than most bespoke perfumers. When I had my perfume boutique, Le Bijou in La Jolla, California.. my clients would come and smell essential oils and absolutes and then I would make a perfume for them after they left. Some people told me I like x, y , and z and then I created a perfume. Some people said they did not want to smell oils…no way so I had them print their name and then sign it. I read energy so it became an easy way for me to decipher what they wanted.
Ok to take it a step further… I am a trained Certified Aromatherapist and took a few blending classes. So I know what healing aspects the oils mixed together will create. I love to add the benefit of healing and raising people’s vibrations with perfumes. Did you know that every fragrance I make I perform alchemy on it? You will receive a benefit whether you are aware of it or not. Ok so the energy of a perfume is important to me. That is why I work only with alive oils that are natural and not created in a laboratory.

My bespoke perfumes can be just for you to feel good.. like I want mine with gardenia.. from my garden… with jasmine, rose, amber, etc. Or you may want to “attract” your mate.. a new partner.. or something into your life. So your perfume changes your energy field for that to happen. Everything is energy… this is not witchcraft.. just working to make you all you can be. It is the same difference as a new haircut, color and a new red dress, heels and nail polish… ok then spray on a fab new custom perfume.. you are ready.. Understand?

Your bespoke can be your “dream” perfume or one that works on removing your blocks to success, prosperity, or happiness. I hope this helps you to understand my work. Since 1993 I have helped people with all kinds of problems.. referrals from alternative healers, clinics, and hospitals. How can I help you? Please go to my page that explains it. I believe I am the only perfumer working with custom perfumes in this manner. This is not only aroma therapy but complex perfumes containing 30 or 40 ingredients. Go to my Custom Bespoke Perfume page to read more.
